We have been working within the fundamental paradigm that core collapse supernovae (CCSNe) may be neutrino driven, since the first suggestion of this by Colgate and White nearly five decades ago. Computational models have become…

The pursuit of the core collapse supernova explosion mechanism continues. While such efforts have been undertaken over the last four decades, it is only in the last decade that multidimensional models have been developed, and only in the…
